Supraphon Release Information



Life anniversary, big concert & special compilation

Prague’s “O2 Aréna” will experience the show of the man who “won’t cut it”. Jiří Korn may have turned 70, but his vitality, repertoire and costumes show that he is still following modern and fashionable trends. He has always done so, and thus used to be one step ahead of the domestic pop competition.

His music was embellished by tap dancing, creating modern dance groups and finding unconventional arrangements. Bratři Cabanové (The Caban Brothers) put on a show for his concert in our largest hall, supporting his chosen music, some of which makes up this compilation. From Svoboda’s breakthrough 1971 good-timing Yvetta (Ivette) to this year’s dance remix of “Té, co snídá” (The One who Eats Breakfast) performed by DJ Neo, it’s a very interesting “trendy” listen, full of undoubted hits just as often defying the standards of the time.

Much of it has a dance beat to it, functional even after many years, Korn was a skilled and successful seeker in this. Think, for example, of the effective surprises of Kocáb’s “Nejdřív je trénink” (First Is the Training) and “Karel nese asi čaj” (Karel Carries about Tea), Soukup’s “Miss Moskva” (Miss Moscow) or Neo’s “My virtuálové” (We Virtuals). Then there are two vocal embellishments with 4tet, another of Korn’s stylish surprises. The anniversary concert will logically contain many times more songwriting treats, but as a summation of the best this CD serves well.

A new remastering, this year’s bonus single, and a visual cover in the style of the O2 event!
